This was a very good soup! Next time I make it (yes, there will definitely be a next time), I might add a little more pepper to it, as I thought it could've used a little more heat, but then again, I like spicy. Thank you, Garnet for posting such a great recipe!

This, without a doubt, is the only recipe I use for crab bisque. Everyone I know that eats it adores it. I also use fresh crab meat and it is stellar. Thanks, Garnet!

This was wonderful!!!! Very easy and had enough zing to make it great but not to much to make it hard to eat!!!!! We used fresh crab instead of canned and it worked great. As part of the meal we had some bread for dipping in the soup and that turned out really well to.
